This will be my journal reporting all my trades red or green that I can use to reflect back on. I will be primarily trading low price & fast moving stocks. Open to discussion either message or within the topic.

Thanks for looking and best of luck to myself

Trade #1
Date: 7/24/17
Ticker: TOPS
Catalyst: Nothing of recent
Entry/Exit Volatile stock lately, I bought in at an average of .5089 range on what looked to be a run up, I thought if it could re-test the day and sell into the .60 range. Didn't break out and sold at an average of .51
Profit/Loss: Scratch



Trade #2
Date: 7/26/17
Ticker: ARGS
Catalyst: News on positive results on their HIV Program'
Entry/Exit: Bought on average of .40 on a dip anticipating a breakout. Seen resistance in the .36 area and failed to stick to my plan on cutting losses there in hope it would spike. Held through out the day and eventually sold for an average of .30 horrible trade
Profit/Loss: -.10 per share

Trade #3
Date: 7/28/17
Ticker: JAGX
Catalyst: Merger news
Entry/Exit: I've noticed this week there seemed to be a trend where stocks that were up on pre-market would open with a dip, and then a bounce back to the pre-market highs or even a new high of the day. I averaged in at .93 cents (late) but this stock moved and crashed so quickly I was unable to execute my order quickly enough and didnt end up getting out until .81 average. Much to learn still and a lot learned today. Need to change my set up so I can quickly and efficiently place entry and exit orders. I will try to plan better over the weekend and be prepared for the week to come.
Profit/Loss: -.12 per share

Trade #4
Date: 8/1/2017
Ticker: HUSA
Catalyst: Oil company announcing production rate of a newly operable well in Reeves County, Texas
Entry/Exit: The price gaped up from its last close in pre-market and I was anticipating a sell off from bag holders or those who bought in after hours. I bought in at .67 risking of .65 support level looking for bounce back up into the .70s with possible breakout. Shortly after my entry I seen some big sellers on level 2 and did not see this going any farther, exited for a scratch.
Profit/Loss: Scratch



Trade #5
Date: 8/1/17
Ticker: DRYS
Catalyst: No real news, very volatile stock along with another in the same sector (transportation) TOPS
Entry/Exit: I was originally watching for a big panic to buy into the dip. I ended up buying in at 1.59 anticipating huge volume spike during power hour and since it had been up trending all day, I figured it had tons of support in the mid 1.50s and won't panic sell. Fortunately, I was right on track with this and had potential to make .20-.30 cents per share. Unfortunately, I got faked out for what I thought was going to be panic selling and sold for 1.59 in those 3 red candles. This is a very sketch company and not one you want to hold over night.
Profit/Loss: Scratch



Closing notes:
Overall happy with my entry/exit with HUSA since it didn't go anywhere I played it safe. At the same time, need to remain patient sine I could have make a slight profit on HUSA and especially remain patient on much more volatile plays during power hour such as DRYS. Great learning experience today and didn't lose money

Trade #5
Date: 8/24/2017
Ticker: IMNP
Catalyst: Spiked big the previous day and crashed in pre-market I was looking to dip buy. Big green volume after a big drop anticipated a morning spike. Looking back this I shouldn't have even touched which is why I do this blog, to reflect!
Entry/Exit: So I have been trying different setups and settings for entering and exiting positions quickly and total human error got me on this play. Once I bought in I did not have the summary indicator up and didn't see the exact price I got in at. A couple minutes later the price action turned quickly and I exited as fast I could
Profit/Loss: -.17 per share



Trade #6
Date: 8/25/2017
Ticker: BTCS
Catalyst: Earlier in the week bitcoin hit an all time high and nearly all bitcoin stocks spiked pretty big. On Friday bitcoin was testing that previous high and for a while it broke through and held. I chose BTCS because out of the stocks that spiked before this one had good volume, ran pretty high (doubled) it also stabilized and had a good line for support to risk off of.
Entry/Exit: My entry was average of .165 risking off .160 as my exit if the price drops to there. Towards the end of the day bitcoin started to crash and the stocks followed. Again, going back to different setups for orders when I went to exit my order I accidentally sold shares in increments instead of everything that I held which resulted my small profit being eaten by commissions. I didn't want to risk holding over the weekend because 1) Some bitcoin stocks were being haulted and 2) Bitcoin trades over the weekend and could completely take a dive. Since friday it's down from where it was but is up on the day. For those interested, it is something worth keeping an eye on it's already ran twice this year and all the stocks followed.
Profit/Loss: Scratch

Trade #7
Date: 8/28/2017 - 8/29/2017
Ticker: TNDM
Catalyst: FDA approval of insulin pump for diabetic use.
Entry/Exit: Before buying in I wanted to see if it was going to panic and set up for a dip buy or be able to have strength to break the p/m high. After it broke the p/m high I bought it because it was a multi month breakout. After it peaked I should have taken my profits and got out but greed over took me and I held and hoped of a later spike. Held all day and o/n hoping for another spike to regain some of the losses.
Profit/Loss: -.18 per share



Trade #8
Date: 8/29/2017 - 8/30/2017
Ticker: BTCS
Catalyst: Bitcoin started perking a new high more than likely due to geopolitical crisis (North Korea) overall markets were down. Looking back I was just forcing a trade to make up previous losses.
Entry/Exit: The next morning the stock gapped up could have exited for a minor profit, got greedy and held, did not follow my plan of exiting at my pre-set risk level and a small profit turned into a loss.
Profit/Loss: -.02 per share



Trade #9
Date: 8/31/2017
Ticker: BTCS
Catalyst: Bitcoin another all time high bought on a breakout
Entry/Exit: Reached my goal of profit but a bit slow on my exit didn't get out where I originally wanted.
Profit/Loss: +.01 cent per share (this seems pitiful but it was a 6% gain 10 minutes)

Trade #10
Date: 9/1/2017
Ticker: BTCS
Catalyst: Bitcoin another all time high
Entry/Exit: Stock gapped up in p/m was looking for a pullback to buy into and sell on a bounce. Bought late/chased into the bounce and did not exit on my pre-set risk level (low of the day) Held and hoped resulted in a bigger loss.
Profit/Loss: -.01 cent per share



Weekly closing notes: This was my first official week of hitting the markets everyday, getting up at 0445 and creating a watch list. Lots of emotions I have to work on such as: getting attached to 1 stock (BTCS), getting greedy, and overall nerves. There were many other plays I've seen and was ready to buy in but couldn't pull the trigger and the stock reacted in a way I anticipated and would have been a small profit for me. Must stick to my plans. Hold and hope is not a strategy. Continue to study and adapt.

Trade #11
Date: 9/6/2017
Ticker: IDXG
Catalyst: Dip buying pattern
Entry/Exit: Yesterday the stock had bounced off $1.55 area twice and climbed back up to the $1.70s, today I was suspecting the pattern to repeat and was waiting for a panic down to $1.55 (or lower) to buy into and ride the bounce up. Even P/M it hit $1.55 and went back up. When the stock panic I saw it forming some support in the $1.57 area so I bought in risking off P/M and yesterdays low of $1.55 and anticipated a bounce back in the $1.70 area. My analysis was correct, my entry was perfect and I gave the stock time as yesterday it was a slow climber. After it went it above VWAP I now bumped up the support to there and would sell if it dipped below it. Unfortunately I made a fat finger mistake and only sold half my position right before it broke VWAP and the other half below which resulted in me paying commission twice to sell thus eating up my profits. Still a great trade as my entry was great and I stuck to my plan. Was aiming to make 10% but price didn't quite get there.
Profit/Loss: +.05 cents a share (average gain 2 sell prices)

Trade #12
Date: 9/26/2017
Ticker: INPX
Catalyst: Recent low priced runner that I heard about off another traders watch list.
Entry/Exit: I was looking for a morning panic ideally down to yesterdays support. As it was dropping and dipped just below P/M support tons of bidders started stacking up on the Level 2 as well increase in volume. Bought shares at avg of .38 risking off LOD of .36 Goal was to make 10% on my small position. Sold at .43 cents gaining 13% profit in 4 minutes. Left a lot more on the table but thats okay. Overall very happy with this trade kept the emotions in place and stuck to the plan
Profit/Loss: +.05 cents a share

Trade #13
Date: 9/27/2017
Ticker: AVGR
Catalyst: The previous day in AH the company announced approval for treating in-stent restenosis with the Lumivascular atherectomy system in the European field
Entry/Exit: In afterhours the stock flew up 100% and I was looking to dip buy the following morning. Had some technical issues on my end, did not get my ideal entry and chased a bit like a nooooob. Once price broke below VWAP is generally a sign of momentum change. Also trying to dip buy a stock already up 100% is a bit silly lesson learned
Profit/Loss: -.02 cents per share



Trade #14
Date: 9/29/2017
Ticker: NETE
Catalyst: Former runner this week that has been on my watchlist. Honestly this was just an emotional pick I missed my entry on 3 other stocks that would have resulted in profit and I was looking for something to trade.
Entry/Exit: Bought in the pull back / dip it has history this week of pulling back, then bouncing up. The volume really decreased and the bidders on the level 2 went away and still had a lot of sellers. I thought this was the beginning of the end at quickly exited. Should have risked off the LOD .72 and been more patient but the little gap down scared me. Was on the right track as the chart later shows could have been a 20-30% gain for me.
Profit/Loss: -.02 cents per share



Weekly closing notes: Closed the week on overall green. 3 trades 1 decent profit 2 minor losses. Overall happy with my discipline and sticking to my plan. Need to still work on emotional side lot of many missed trades that I could not get myself to take. Still lots of nerves, fear of loss etc. End of September had a 40% win rate. August was 20% so its an improvement

Trade: #15
Date: 10/03/2017
Ticker: ETRM
Catalyst: The company, EnteroMedics had acquired/merged with another privately owned company with an FDA approved product to treat obesity.
Entry/Exit: In terms of execution everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong. I fat finger mistake double my initial entry. When I first submitted order I had some pop up, didn't both to read it cause I was trying to lock in my position. Unknowingly it did go through but I wasn't aware so I bought in twice on average of 2.15 looking for it to test the opening highs. Looking back it had a bit of double bottom in p/m which acted as heavy resistance - makes sense why it didn't pop through it, needed a lot more volume. Once it started going sideways and fading I exited what I thought my entire position was LOL. Shortly after I realized I was still long the stock I used a mental stop of the $2. It had a little pull back and again failed bouncing so I cut losses.
Profit/Loss: -.09 per share.



Trade: #16
Date: 10/04/2017
Ticker: RGSE
Catalyst: Big news on RGSE they entered into an exclusive domestic and international license agreement with TheDow Chemical Company for the POWERHOUSE™ solar shingles system, an innovative and aesthetically pleasing solar shingle system developed by Dow that has been deployed on more than 1,000 homes. This stock was also at a multi month break out level, low float, and tons of volume everything to make things interesting.
Entry/Exit: Since the stock was up so much in P/M, dipped down, and climbed almost back to its highs i thought on market open it blasts through P/M high I'm in. If it starts going down I'm sure its cause everyone is locking in profits and I would look for some sort of support. It perked up but didn't quite get to VWAP so I wasn't convinced. I was waiting for the price to rip through VWAP, volume picked up, bidders stacked up I set my order for the price on VWAP. My goal to sell was the in the 2.40s I wasn't sure if it would set new highs but it sure did, had a pull back got scared, locked in profits for a nearly 18% gain.
Profit/Loss: +.37 cents per share.
